I do prefer Lara (my dd) but Laura is pretty too.

Laura Jane is lovely.

I met a baby Nora recently and misheard it as Laura. I was quite disappointed when I realised. Laura would have been far prettier and more unusual these days.

Laura is making a come back now Lauren and Lara have become too popular. I know of three Laura's under 10.

DownInTheDumps1 · 04/05/2018 00:03

Yes, it's lovely. Love Lauren too.

kaytee87 · 04/05/2018 07:20

I think it's really dated and prefer lauren.

ShowOfHands · 04/05/2018 07:27

It's very pretty. I think it's a classy, timeless name. I feel the same way about Hazel and Josephine which would make good middle names for Laura.

SoyDora · 04/05/2018 07:29

I think Lauren is more ‘dated’ than Laura.

Chocolatedeficitdisorder · 04/05/2018 07:31

I like it very much, it's gentle and feminine but unfussy and familiar.

I have a Leah Jane, the L and J go well together.

HelenaJustina · 04/05/2018 07:37

Love it. Don’t know any Laura’s under 20, know a couple around my age. One of whom is one of the nicest people I’ve ever known, which colours the name for me!

I went ro school with alot of them but it's never heard these days making it refreshing. I met sisters called Sarah and Zoe recently and found it refreshing in the same way

Love Laura. The two I know are exceptionally nice.

Laura Katherine
Laura Caroline
Laura Beatrice
Laura Josephine
Laura Olivia
Laura Xanthe
Laura Francesca or Frances
Laura Mirabel
Laura Tamsin
Laura Gabrielle or Gabriella

Sorry, for me it’s just too soon to be refreshing. The opposite of refreshing, tired and dull. Like boot leg jeans I’m just not ready for the come back. I can’t get excited about Becky or Kate either. But as everyone likes it I’m obviously too old! Smile

Wotrewelookinat · 07/05/2018 06:20

My sister is Laura, love the name, only know 1 other.

LadyWithLapdog · 07/05/2018 06:23

I like it very much Smile

RoseMartha · 07/05/2018 06:56

Great choice, I like it.

Kokeshi123 · 07/05/2018 07:10

It's a lovely name, never out of style.
